We saw a total of 71 riders leave Devoran on Sunday. Despite some of the usual suspects being away from home “The Granite and Serpentine Way” saw more riders listed than any year since 2008: ourselves on tandem, thirteen on geared solos and one on fixed wheel. Navigational mistakes and Garmin-assisted sailing on past controls led to a rather high DNF count on “A Lizard Loop” but all twelve who started the “Carns and Killas” had their brevet cards in good order for the finish.

A popular ride featuring the open, flatter roads of the Lizard and many quiet lanes. Start from the historic south coast mineral port of Devoran and ride lanes north and west to the Little Pengelly Tea Room control. Then take a run down the Lizard and back before returning to Devoran village hall.

The change of venue was blessed with particularly fine warm weather, and 65 riders took off from Devoran on the three very different routes, returning to Devoran for cakes and crumble, with custard hot or cold.
